Kreo BIM Takeoff
London, United Kingdom
What it is
Kreo BIM Takeoff is a paid cloud platform for analyzing 3D BIM models, automating measurements, and preparing construction estimates. Users can upload IFC models and work in a browser without Revit or other software; the FAQ lists only the *.ifc format for BIM Takeoff. The service classifies data using NRM1, SMM7, MasterFormat, and other international standards. Calculations use 3D geometry, while customizable reports can be regenerated when measurements change. Teams can view reports online and discuss projects through a built-in messenger. Integrations include Contractor Foreman, Excel, PDF export, and APIs, with takeoff items importable into Contractor Foreman estimates. REST APIs support AI detection and measurement of 2D files plus project, measurement, and annotated-PDF operations. Kreo says its cloud solution analyzes models, calculates, and prepares estimates 10x faster. Plans include Pro at $65 a month billed annually and a seven-day trial.
